Family Fragmented Over Abuse Allegations – How Are They Now?

Minny, her husband, Lon, and her (then) 17-year-old son, Andrue, appeared on Dr. Phil both in 2013 and in 2014. Minny said she originally wrote to Dr. Phil because she thought Andrue had been kidnapped by his birth father, but Andrue said he shot himself in the chest to escape what he claimed was his mom and step-dad, Lon’s, “abusive” household. Andrue said when his birth father, David, showed up at the hospital, he went home with him.

In 2014, Andrue claimed DHS (Department of Human Services) was investigating Minny and Lon because of his suicide attempt. He said he testified against them, and that’s when, he claimed, DHS took three of their children away. Minny and Lon said they wanted to know how to get their kids out of the foster care system.

Today, Minny says she’s no longer married to Lon. Did she bring her children home? And how is her relationship with Andrue? Tune in to Wednesday’s Dr. Phil.
